8. Good person

It went the same way Shuu expected it to.

The wealthy sons and daughters were taught to get closer and befriend children of those who had more wealth or status.

While some who misunderstood their family wealth and status as theirs started to talk selfishly like some third-rate villain from the novel.

Afterwards, Shuu went to greet the three most prestigious families of this era. Which is Shinomiya, Kotobuki, and Nakiri.

Luckily, Katsuragi was only seen as a normal wealthy family, so he didn't garner attention like those three. As long as it wasn't him who approached others, others rarely tried to approach him. Then, out of necessity, Shuu only went to greet the Fujiwara family, or more correctly, Fujiwara Chika, because there were only children here. He also became acquainted with Chika's older sister, Fujiwara Toyomi. Then finally, after he did everything he needed to do, Shuu went to find some places where he could take his breath peacefully in his free time.

After enjoying his free time to the fullest, it was time for some more necessary things to do before he could leave the party. However, on his way back to the party's room, he met someone unexpected.

It was Shinomiya Kaguya who was crying alone.

***

Kabe-Down!!

Aside from the student, who will be called Kashiwagi's boyfriend from now on, there's another person who used Miyuki's self-proclaimed technique.

It was early in the morning before the morning class even started. The students in one class were clamoring louder than usual today.

It's because of the appearance of someone who isn't from their class. Obviously, something like a visitor from another class wasn't that special either. However, what this visitor did instantly caught everyone's attention. especially after he did that to the most beautiful girl in their class.

"Ehhh ah etto etto," Fumino started to let out incomprehensible words.

"So…" Shuu picked up her chin after he used 'Kabe-Down' "Care to explain why I haven't seen you since that day, Furuhashi-san?"

Fumino didn't even have a leeway to hear what Shuu said. Every word entered from the left ear straight toward the right ear. The shocking fact that he suddenly appeared in her class without any notice beforehand and the situation they were in right now overpowered the capacity of Fumino's brain to process. Her brain's RAM and CPU have already exploded at this point.

Shuu realized that the conversation wouldn't progress like this, so he gave her a bit of time before he continued.

"I heard you come to Shinomiya-san a few times. and she complained to me about why there's always no progress after my class. You know what? There's a result of my tutoring even when I never tutored you before. How strange~" Shuu said it with a smile that gave out pressure to everyone who saw it.

Fumino uses 'Escape'

Fumino failed to escape. She was pinned down from the beginning by Shuu who had expected her to run away as one of her ways out.

Without any other way, Fumino was forced to face Shuu. "H-hee~ how strange~"

"Strange, right? I also thought the same. And you know what? I also heard Ogata-san had met with Chika and the president a few times."

"Ugh..." Fumino groaned, taking an invisible attack from Shuu.

"I wonder what happened~ it seemed my time flowed slower than theirs."

"I'm sorry!!" Fumino immediately apologized before Shuu continued to rend her heart even more than this.

"Haa…" Shuu let out a sigh. "It's good that you understand now. I thought I needed to continue my talk for one hour more before you understood."

(Thank goodness…) Fumino sighed in relief, she couldn't imagine what she would become if she were to continue being stubborn.

"Fumino-chan, are you alright?" Finally, one of Fumino's friends, the bravest one among them, let out her voice.

However, Shuu turned to them first and asked, "Do you guys have anything special before the morning classroom?" He let out a warm smile toward Fumino's classmates.

Which immediately struck the hearts of the girls. It might have already been forgotten, but Shuu got good genes from his parents. He was handsome enough to be called the best.

"Eh, um, we have nothing," the girl replied.

"By the way, do you know where Furuhashi-san's table is?"

"It's right there," she unconsciously replied.

"Thank you." Shuu flashed a smile again. which instantly got the reaction he expected. He ignored them and pulled Fumino with him.

Fumino, who still couldn't process what happened when she realized she had already sat down on her seat.

"Are you busy before the morning classroom?"

"...No" Fumino replied after a bit of thinking.

"Alright, I heard you're still on the middle-school first year level. Let's start from where Shinomiya left out." Shuu took an empty seat and sat beside Fumino.

"Eh? "We're starting now?" Fumino complained.

"Focus" Shuu demanded. Fumino was unable to refute it anymore when the study season started. Her classmates could only watch from afar.

***

While hearing Shuu's explanation, Fumino couldn't help peeking at him. (Shinomiya-san already explained the reason he did that, but still... It's hard to believe.)

"Until here, is there anything you don't understand?" Fumino quickly turned back to the book so that Shuu wouldn't notice her peeking.

"It's okay, I understand so far," Fumino replied. (He's even better at teaching than Shinomiya-san. He also seriously and meticulously taught me step by step, even when I almost asked him all the time for the simplest thing.)

(Maybe… what Shinomiya-san said was the truth. Maybe he's really a good person)

Unlike Kaguya, a real true genius. Shuu's genius was based on repetition and learning, including his past life. means at least he knew more about the one who couldn't do normal things than Kaguya.

After a few more moments passed, Fumino finally solved the problem herself without any help. "I did it!!" she picked up her note and shouted in delight.

Shuu smiled at her and said, "Good work, have some candy." He gently patted her head. Of course, there's no way Shuu hasn't mastered the way of 'patting head' Dao.

(He's really a good person) Fumino unconsciously enjoyed his praise and rewards.

"Then let's end it here for today." Shuu replied, "Next time, let's decide a better time after class. We'll have more time like that."

"Un" Fumino nodded, Her fear of Shuu has reduced.

"By the way, Furuhashi-san," Shuu called as he stood from his seat and took it back to its original place. The original owner of that seat was finally able to sit down, as he didn't dare to spew a word toward Shuu.

"Yes?" Fumino replied.

"Do you know in training or teaching there's a phrase 'Carrot and Stick'?"

"Hmm? I know that." Fumino tilted her head, wondering why he suddenly talked about this.

Shuu then approached her ear and whispered to her, "And you think of me as a good person now, don't you?" He smiled wickedly to let Fumino alone see. Then he left the classroom, not waiting for Fumino's response.

(WHAAAAAAT!!!?) Fumino butted her head on the desk.
